Hooded Fang's self-titled
debut from 2010 was an
enjoyable retro-sounding
affair, but over the
following few months
'Nuggets' must have been on
heavy rotation in the band's rehearsal room, as 2011's 'Tosta
Mista' boasts more of a 60's
garage-rock vibe.
It's a slightly uneven
album, but at it's best it's
very good indeed. Here's the
best of the bunch and one of my fave raves of last year.

Definitely groovy.
A new one to me, but that track is really good....worth a follow up there!
Read about this the Stool Pigeon I acquired from my local record store, so good to go in there once in awhile. I've heard the track 'Clap' and 'Tosta Mista' the latter being the pick fo sho!!
You're so right about the idea that they must've been listening to 'Nuggets' - if you had told us it was an original '60s track I would have had absolutely no hesitation in believing you.
Any way it's nice!
